If you are interested in losing weight or simply maintaining weight then you need to pay close attention to your basal metabolic rate.

This rate controls how many calories you burn at rest and it’s the most important factor when it comes to your weight.

The question is, can you do anything to augment your basal metabolic rate to improve how many calories you burn at rest? And the answer to that question is yes.

This is because your thyroid is primarily responsible for controlling BMR. It’s estimated that up to 40 to 60% of your caloric burn is regulated in part by your thyroid.

And there are things you can do to improve your thyroid function to increase how many calories you are burning at baseline.

One of those things is by taking thyroid hormones, especially t2 thyroid hormone.

Emerging research is showing that T2 thyroid hormone is one of the thyroid hormones in your body that is primarily responsible for regulating your metabolism.

And it just so happens that T2 is the only thyroid hormone that is available over the counter.

Studies in both humans and animals suggest that T2 thyroid hormone may be an emerging treatment for obesity both in people with thyroid disease and in those with normal thyroid disease.

Learn more about using T2, its safety profile, how much to use, and much more.
